Mr. John Oosligan is one of the moit prominent and influential Democratic Irishmen in Albany. At the recent celebration of the feslivnl of Si. Patrick, ill that cny, uo expressed nimsen as lollowa: John Cosliean. Esq.. beina CHlleil on for sentlm.,,, stated ihnt he had quite recently read in lb Tory London Tima, the leading government organ of Eng land, an editorial article on the consequence and uf- lecia oi emigration Irom Ireland to America, from which he (Mr. 0 ) bad transcribed tho following paragraph, viz ! "When the Celt hat crossed the Athmtm. ha Loin. for the first time in hi lite, to conmme ibe mmiuluc cures 01 mis country, and indirectly to contribute to us customs, no may pnssioiy nvo to see Hie dny when tho chief produce of Ireland will be caltlt, and English and Scotch the minority of her population. iho nine or ten millions of Irish, who by that lime will have settled in the United States, cannot lie less friendly to England, and will certainly be much bul- wr uu.iuuier. 10 ner man tney now are. ' Here, said Mr. O., is prool positive and undeniable, If any were needed, of the kind of lovo and affection which the British government bears 10 Ireland and Irishmen, and the confidence Ihey entertain of holding the United States as the beet market in the mrld fr their mauulactured goods. Although he (Mr. 0.) hod always favored and supported the doctrine of "Free Trade," and low duties on foreign importation, avow. Is like the foregoing, mndo fiom various Hritiih sources, he frankly confessed, bad worked a change in his opinion on the "Kree-Trade" policy, advocated mi strongly in influential quarters. As an indication of his present views on that subject, he would ask leave to preseut the following soutlinent: 'Protection to American Itiduatiy: The most lepili-mate and effectual punishment we can inflict on John Bull lor bis tvranny and oppression to Ireland. Let us have a tariff high enough to eiclude the impurtaiion of all British manufactures." This sentiment was received by Ihe company with most rapturous applause. Albany Argue. Mr. Costigau hit tho nnil on tho head. Tho Union deprived Ireland of the power to protect her own manufactures, and made her tho helpless victim of the system which England and Lncofocoism calls free trade. Befuro the Union, under lrih proteclivo laws, there were Irish woolen manufactures, Irish carpet manufactures, Irish blanket manufactures, Irish silk manufactures, Irish calico ninnulac:ures, Irish llannel manufactures and Irish stocking manufactures. The British Pa.liamcnt decreed their ruin and they are ex-Unci, It decreed that Irishmen should buy their man-ulacturea "in the cheapest market," meaning thereby, where they could, fur the lime being, bo bought l,.r least money, (that is, in England,) and. that Ireland r should raise bread-stulTs and other agricultural pro-ducla with which to pay for Ihem. England was to bo the great work shop, and the Irishman wus compelled to be its customer. In short, it fastened upon Ireland, by coercion, the aame system which it seeks to fasten upon us by coaxing. The Locolbco party, whenever it has the power, and to the extent it has the power, adopts and promotes the British ajstem. It insists that this country ought to look to England as its win It shop, and in this way oblain the privilege uf smiling itl (train across ihe ucean In be eaten, instead of hay ing it eaten at homo. The Whig party maintains the American protective policy, Ihe same policy precisely aa Ireland maintained so long as it had Ihe power. Before Ihe Union, the Irish Parliament impnsed protec-tective duties on many English manulactures: among others, a duty on English woolen ; a duly on English calicoes and muslins, so high as to be nearly prohibitory ; a duly on English silk ; duties on English cotton yarn, cotton twist and cotton manufactured goods. Even in the Act of Union it stipulated for the contin uance of the duties on woolens, and several other articles, for twenty years ; fur Ihe high duties on ealieoea and muslins till 18119, wilh a gruiiinl reduction afterwards, till they should fall to nolhing in 1831. The duties on cotton yarn and twist were in like manner continued till 18118, wilh a provision for their gradual reduction after thai lime, till they fell to nothing in 1816. B But when Ireland was deprived by British misrule of a home market fur lis farm products, snd wns forced to send them across the Channel to lie eaten in Eng. land, the Irish growers became so poor that ihey were no longer able to be customers to ilia English work shop. Tho Times states Ibis fnot in the passaie quoted by Mr. Oosligant "When the Cell hs crossed Ihe Atlantic, ke otfim. for lit jirtt Hmt in kit life, to coniume tkt manufactures of rAit couarry " (England.) They are so plundered and impoverished under this r system, thai existence in Ireland is no longer possible. A depopulation of the island begins, which hns taken ofT not onlv the natural increase of a prolific people, but left 1,659.330 souls less iu 1861 than in 1841. They are flying from British froe trade at the rale of a thousand a day s but the system pursues them over the waves. Free trade, by ila organ, the rimes, emits in the prospect of the day "when the chief produre of Ireland will be ; " and "the nine or ten millions of Irish, who by that time will he settled in the United States, will be much better customers to England than Ihey now are." The eiile can no Inngcr be made to wear oollar, visibly branded with the words, " I'al-riok, Ihe Cell, born thrall ol Oedric, ihe Samni" but Free Trade cries after himt "Patrick, the Celt, bom ntlomtr of John Dull Patrick, the strong worker, who ean no longer extract food enough from his native fields to make him a desirable customer, but issnltered to cross that Atlantic to raise crops in the fresh fields of Amerioa, which he must exchange fur manufactures t the English work shop, and not at the work shop of his neighlwr, any more than he did at home." la it not the strangest thing in the world that Irishmen should be satisfied with this ; that they should be content to be more effectual tributaries In the wealth and power of their hereditary tyrants, after escaping from the necessity of it, than before; that they should enroll themselves in such large prnpnrtiun among the aupportera ot Ihe British system, antl give their strength tu oppose the same national protective policy in America, which Irish pilrintiam maintained while Ireland bad parliament of her own T John Ooatigan at last sees the absurdity. His eyes are opened. The eyes of Irishmen in the old country are opened too. An association in Dublin, " The Pa-real Soars) of Iritk Mannfaetnn emd aoWry." is en deavoring io aueumpiisii, oy opinion and vnluntnry compact, what there is no longer the power to ncconv ilish there by law, to diminish the sale of English abrica, aud to give the preference to their own. Irishmen in Ihe United States can act much more effectively. They have) only to cooperate with the Inrgn mnjority of native citizens, and establish the Whig protective system, to poll down the manufacturing and enmmer del aopremaoy of England in ten years and fur ever. It is lor them to decide whether Ihey will follow John Ooatigan Id the cause of their native and adept, d countries or will continue Ihe policy which makes them and their brethren at home the forced customers of England.

Cnli. fornia, on the 23d ult., from liobart Town, bringing us much later news than what we were previously in possession of. From all that we can gather from our xenanges irom tuaiparint tne world, there is no question that Ihe auriferous wealth of Australia is second only lo uamuruia. waniomia, however, has nothing to fear t we oan yet hold our own and more too t fur we have t much nealthier climate in our mineral re. f ions than Auslralia can boast of in hers. We hear of sictness prevailing to a very great extent in portions ol the Australian mines, especially in Victoria. Hut even in regard to Ihe quantity or gold aa yel discovered it Australia, it bears no comparison to that of California. Although additional discuveriea have bnsn ma,U v. cently, the quantity of the precioua melal excavated or gatnerca is not so great as wee to be expected. The Australian mines will of course add to the effect which Iboae of California are producing on Ihe value of gold throughout the world. Our columns are so much crowded to day that we cannot find room fur all the newa we have received from Australia by this arrival, and we are therefore obliged lo condense as much as possible. The Sydney Herald of January SDih, aavs : Tbe newa from our mines la of a more cheering character than it has been for several weeks. The Or luron is becoming populated again, and a few pariiea with treat exertions have been able lo wnrk tl,uiP k-J claims with much suooesa.

Iu many inatauces these are turning out very profitable, audi as two mn clearing $20 per day, and watcr-holeg yielding 130 ounces or more. At the Brnidwond mines it is difficult to en gage labor, inasmuch as success is so general ihat fu w need work fur others. We know of cases in which the day's yield of small parties lias been ten, fifteen aud twenty ounces. It is, however, atoutahinc what mierntory beings miners iiiiuuina. una wouia suppose timt success would prevent them from traveling farther. But no! it is onlv necessary to intimate that a field exiatx whern tiv could get forty ounces per day, and they will leave uriaimy i t uncenumiy. Home 40(1 have tints lelt lor now uiggitigs, wtncii nobody appears to know but ill em sokes; but it is sonerallv sunnosed that " Wenn. rno " is the spnt. It is currently reported that a rich field has been discovered in .his district by the Rev. W. B. Clurke, who, it is said, has forwarded samples of the on I ( to hil Excellency the Governor.

Wo came " on board " this " cloriousciiv in tlm Ha " (ns lingers calls it) iu n pondulu by moonlight. I say ' c imu on boaid," for to me VViiico seems like a huge ship moored awy out in a brond buy. lis approaches .mm uiu in on rn an oy water, oiul instead ol inter-ommunicutton by streets, you go about from house to house iu hosts. We stepped from the railroad station into a gondola, which took us some two miles through winding canals, some brond and some narrow. mn.n step of our " Hotel Royal, San Marco." The gondola of Venice is long and narrow and sharp at riiher end. It sits lightly on the water ovor which u glides iioiS"iesiy. It is propelloi by one or twu nan, tii you cliome, by watermen who stand up behind the oar. If you tuke a gondola fur the day, with two oars, it costs twelve shillings in our money. If you hne hut a single waterman, though bis oar is on the side of iho bout, he s eers her by a reversed motion uf ihe osr as easily as if another mmi hM a rA. der. The gondolas aronll painted black, and though graceful in lorui, am not so guy as the pictures we e. The Grand Caiml is the Broadway of Venire. It is lined wilh palaces. In bong rowed ihroigh it, our gondolier pointed nut those belonging to Ihe Duke of Bordeaux, the legitimate heir to the ihrone of France: to iIib UoutitessGuicciuta, adjoining ihat once occupied by Lord Byron; two lielougitig lo Toglioni; the Ducal Palaco, ami several occupied by Doges in the dun uf ihe Uepublio. Gondolas are a luxury compared with hacks nnd cabs. Indeed, thero is no other mude of conveyance so luxurious. Early yesterday morning 1 observed numerous ...... iu with soldiers approaching Shu Marco Irom diiFereui points, anil Droceediai! to the Siiunrp.

Hundred.) ol people bud collected wilh the same object. The " pigeons," or doves, were coming in from ditlerent directions nnd lighting about I lie windows and cornices of a nmrlde palace, where they sat quite gravely until the lirst sound of the clock of San . Marco striking ibe hour of two was beard, wheu the whole (lock simultaneously settled down upon the pavement under tho window from which the sued was thrown nnd from which Ihey have been ltd, nt the same moment every day, fn ni a period so remote that "the memory of mim runneth uot to the contrary." To-day we went nguiu to the samo placo. Tho pigeons beenn lo collect a quarter before two, evidently ns intent upon their dinners as the same number of childrrn, or "children of a larger growth," would have been. Other bells sounded ti lew minutes before, but not a dove moved until tho hammer was heard ou the chick of Sau Marco, and instantly every wing spread ami the tloek again settled to tho pavement While busily picking up their fond, a dog gamboled around among them, and children walked into the ling without disturbing them at all. Some suy that the government provides the fond for lh doves. Olhers my that a lady, centuries ago, provided in her will for the feeding of iho pigeons t but none know why or when tlu practico originated. Venice was built ou a cluster of small islimds, Lut by far the larger portion of the city is founded upon piles and mason woik iu the sea. It has HO canals, one or which, the Grand Canal, is navigable for vessels. Over this there is but one bridge, the RisJio. Ovor the smaller canals there are nearly 400 bridges, which vary in depth from lour to lhirty feet. Through what weie originally islands, there are narrow si rue is, and mauy buildings have both a water and a land front. Much of the interest of Venice is concentrate.! n limit the 1'iazza of St. M.irk. Here is a Otical I'alace, in front of which is the " Slime of Shame," by standing on which bankrupts formerly obtained exemption from their debts. Near the palace is tbe Cathedral of St. Mirk, to construct and ad.nn which tho Venetians plundered many Oriental chits. Among these, spoils are no less tbnn fiOO marble pillars. Over the entrance stand ihe four bronze horses brought from the Hippodrome at Constantinople, in time ol the Cruindes. Bonnparte plundered Venice of these, when he conquered Italy, hut they were resinnd in 181ft. Their oiipin is unknown, hut they were at Alexandria ami Rome before Constantine removed them to tho Turkish Capitol. Around the square or piazza of St. Mark.ou three sides, are continuous marble palaces in tlx basement stories ol which are jewelers and fancy simps similar to thoxe iu inn ihiiii noyai, in nut. As many of the old and disiinguilicd families of Vo-nice are extinct, so many of iis palaces are deserted. These, with their closed windows and barricaded doors, cast saddening shadows over waters by whiih they are situated. Though Venice still has a large, busy aud moderately prosperous population, yel every thing you see speaks of the past rmher thau the present, lis si- ry departed with its commerce. It is curious to seo a largo city like ibis, from which the whoh or ncaily Urn wholo. animal creation is e. eluded. Not a Imrse, or mule, or donkey, or cow, or goni, or swine, and scarcely a dog or cat, are seeu in all Venice. Water, for the supply of the city, is brought in large boats from riven minima into the sen. It tonus m bulk to dill ere nt points, and is then dipped out Into largo casks and distributed by gondolas through the eanals. Women, wilh a peculiar costume, supply dwellings wilh water, whiih they carry in brass buckets by a yoke across thuir shoulders. In tho streets it is sold by the glass. I am iltsapiMiinvud here, as I was at manv nlscos on the Mediterranean, in the scarcity of fish. Instead of Hung mem m anumiance, as along our sea-lmartl, there are but lew varieties, Bud those of at) iufcrioi quality. tiere, as in ait oin-T itnlmn cities, nro numerous works of art. Several gnllerius nceessible to strangers contain rare pictures. Here Titian, having nearly completrd his hundredth year, died. Some of his best pictures were executed after he had numbered ninety years, his celebrated portrait of Aristo, w hich we saw yesterday in the Mnidrini talae. beinc one of them. Among his noblest efforts is the Presentation of our saviour, a large painting which adorns the Acndnmia. The merchants of Venice do not, as iu former times, congregate- ammi me ttiaiio, though ibis is still t busy place. The "Bridge of Richs" is not, as I bnd sunnosed one over which cititeus pass, but is raised thirty feet over a narrow canal, and connects a prison with the Ducal Palace. It is, aa you know, the " Bridge of Sighs" because persona after receiving sentence passed over it lo their prison, at whose mnisive iron bars and frowning aspect one cannot now look without sighing. This prison is now a hospital. We reached here a day ton late to welcome our friend Dr. Howard Townsend back from Egypt. Mr. W. H. De Witt came from Milan aa wo ate preparing iu leave tor inesie. The widow of the late Joe Smith, the founder of Mormon ism, is now laid to be the wife of a tavern keeper in riauToo, and makes quite a respectable land lady.

The following remarks from the Ban Franeitco Her- mid, in relation to the character of the Chinese emigra tion and the feeling of tho American citizens toward thein, will be read with interest. We do not know how, or where this matter is to end : The fuel cannot be concealed that we are in a very embarrassing position in regard to tbe Chinese immigration. The crisis has been deemed so imminent as to elicit a long and special message Irom the Exec u- live to ine Legislature a message containing various suggestions and recommendations, which, we must confess, the letter of the Chinese, published in the Herald, a few days since, proved to he somewhat injudicious. The spirit of our relations with foreign pow-ers is antagonistic to the exclusion of foreigners, whether there be treaty rtioulationi or not. It is the in tention of the laws of the United States, that foreign ers, if they desire citizenship, shall obtain it, and if iney desire to live unnaturalized that they shall be protected in what rights they can acquire. There is no special or valid reason whv this intendment should not apply to the Chinese in theory, nt the same time niai h is onvioustnere are many dithcumes in the way of its practical annlication in thir case in California. Tlioy are swarming into the country in such numbers that before a year they threaten to outnumber any one nation in our mnist. i bey precipitate themselves upon tho placers, and are so expert in mining as almost to excel Americans in that branch of industry. They do not assimilate to our neonle in anv narticular can hold no intercourse wilh them have not their svmna- thy, and if they happen lo interfere with them nt all in their mining labors, are apt to be objects of dislike. Their merchants, some of whom are men uf great intelligence, trade in San Francisco, but that trade islim-itrd. In fact, between the Chinese and Americans. there are few if any of those lies w hich make Euro ponns acceptable to our citizens- J hore is another cause which is calculated to pro-luce collision in the mines between Clnneseaud Amer icans. It is understood that many are sent out hero lo work for a certain period, at a stipulated sum. So long ai this contract system is confined to American citizens, it would not create any extraordinary annoyance; hut that Europeans, resident iu China, and Chinese themselves, should employ this contract labor iu competition with tho labor of our own citizens, in working the plarers, will not he tamely submitted to. Accordingly, wo see already danger of a very serious collision between American miners and the Chinese, who have settled iu the placois, aud the feeling now existing will be much ngyravated when tho thousands already on their way from China shall have reached our shores. All this proves the impolicy of defeating the law framed by Mr. Peachy, to provido a means in California for rendering valid nnd binding, contracts made by American citizens for the nninlovm.tit nf Coolies in agricultural nnd quartz mining. This would novo excluded the Uhmese altogether (mm surlace mining and confined their operations lo the reclamation of tide nnd swamD lands. th tiliinir nf the soil. the cultivation of rice, and the delving in quartz mines. In nouH of these occupalinns would they Imvo interfered wilh the legitimate occupations of American citizens, nnd the laud would in a few years be enriched by the result of ll icir labors. We say again, therefore, this Chinese question, as it sinnds now, is one of great delicucy. There is a law of tbe Empire prohibiting emigration, and it may bo therefore urged that our trade with the Chinese could not he spoiled by preventing their emigration ; at the samo time it cannot be doubted that an emhnrgo on their importation would give rise to feelings of great bitterness and animosity between the two nations. Although it is hoping against hope, we yut trust the Legislature will give this subject their serious consideration, and provide a law to make contracts binding between Chinese and Americans. i) a r i c t j) . tiT There has been quite an excitement at Cincin nati in consequence of the discovery, near Walnut Hills, of the remains of several human bodies, in differ-ont stages of decomposition. Two persons were arrested by tho officers, and a mob endeavored to take them from the police, and hang them on the spot. Afterwards it wns ascertained that the bodies were honestly procured, and that they were being prepared for scientific purposes.

It was thoroughly nunxer iu spirit, principles and organization. 1 tie Slave Power reigned supreme over its deliberations. and of the few liberal Democrats present, who in 1848 nuD-JiHineu ilia jriiici'i'B or supported uio eandKiaies oi ino iiuttaio u on ven i imi, not oiib by word orvti evinced the slightest np- shinn to reniit the overpow ering influence of Slavery. The radical Democrats of new lorh rallied uuiler the lend ol Marcy, an inveterate Hunker, the enemy of Hihia Wright, one of the pledged eleven, and ihe radical Democrats of Ohio upon Cass or Douglas, both pledged by deed and word to tho demands of Slavery. The Era gives the history of the summary way the clriimsofMr. RitNTour, one of the loading Loco Tocos uf Massachusetts, and member of Ctiugress, to a seat in the Convention, wero disposed of: Some weeks ago, Mr. Polk, of Teiin., Iu the llnuo, announced to Mr. Rantuul, of Muss., that bo would be thrust out ol tho parly, Iho Convention mmlo good the prediction. Mr. Rontoul, in portion, talents, nnd labors, has been at tbe head of the New England Democracy. Bya Democratic Convention regularly called in his district, ho wus nominated a delegutn to the National Convention ut Baltimore, by an overwhelming majority. A few dinsatified Hunkers bolted, held a kind of conventicle of some thirty persons, opposed to his nomination, and nominated Mr. Lord. Mr. Ran-toul was also nominated for Congreta, by a regularly authorized Convention ot the Democracy, the Old Line Democracy uf the district. Mr. Lord was nominated by a few Hunker bolters. On tho7ili of April, 1851, the people decided the contest, by giving Runtoul 3,l,rl votes, and Lord 48 ! At Ibe Convention, Mr. Rantoul, of course, cluimed his seat: Mr, Lord, on the strength of his party of 48. contented it. A committee of the MassHcbusutts delegation, reported tb.it iu their opinion, Robert RinloiiL was emitted to tho eat. Tho ease was referred to the committee on Credentials, (Hunker) appointed by the President of the Convention, (a Hunker.) The committee (excepting Mr. Nye)eoolly reported iu favor ol Mr. Lord; Romutoits M. Saunders, ul North Carolina, demanded the previous question on tho adoption of the report, so as to prevent the facts of tlm cane from Coining to the knowltde of ihe members; and the Convention, voting by Stales, adopted it yeas 19ti, nays Si. After giving a sketch of tho long and angry proceedings of ihe five du)V labor, tho final result is announced ns follows : At lust, wearied by unsuccessful efforts to choose from this consecrated baud, it pasted ihem all by, and settled almost unauimoudy upon Franklin fierce, of New Hampshire, a Hunker of Hunkers, profoundly loyal to slavery, from whom no word or vote in behalf of HuniHn Bights bus ever been recorded, who has avowed his entire devotion to the Compromise, but who, in the absence of any avowal. " bo linnei trusted by tho slavchtiUUi, .ntm-nt than a majority of the candidates for whom it bad voted. Then followed ihe almost unanimous nomination for the Vice Presidency, of William R King, of Alabama, a thorough-going duvotee of slavery of ihe Calhoun school, and who, in his letter to Scott, invested tho fugitive law with the sacredness of tbe Constitution. Finally, leaving noilinifj to uncertainly, it plnces the candidates under bonds, by the adoption of the old : resolution on slavery, by faUely nserliiig that that covers tbe adjustment measures of Ihe lai Congress, by edoptmg the finality and totality test, and by pas-ing a special resolution pledging the Democratic party "tu resist all attemps at renewing in Congress and out of it the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt miuht he made " a hihhamled, atrocious effort on tlm part of a popular Convention to put down all freedom of debate in Congress tu thruwt a guy its the throats ol the People's Representatives. The palpable effect of the election of this ticket up on the cause of freedom, is portrayed ns follows. It in proper to remind our readers that the Cincinnati En-qvirer, one ol the leading Locofoco papers in the West, proclaimed, even before tho nomination, that the divi sion of California, and the introduction of slavery there in, wojid be no violation of the letter or spirit of the compromise measures. Of course, finality is not in tended by these men to be final upon anything that may be needed to extend slavery under the Baltimore Locofoco platform. The Era says : If this nomination prove successful, wo shall eipect to see Culiforiiiadivided, and its southern portionerect ed into a slave State a favorite scheme of th i slave power, and lor the consummation of which it is necessary to secure a favorable administration. Every barrier to tbe introduction of slavery into the Territories would be thrown down: Freedom there is in jeopardy, with an administration in Washington that repaid the constitution of tho United States as carrying with it the right to hold slavea iu whatever teiritory may be acquired by the United Stales. This is the doctrine insisted upon by that great interest which dictated the nomination, and by the school of politicians to which Mr. Pierce belongs. Nor must we forgot that the policy of tho annexation of Cuba, and of liirther acquisitions of territory on our southwest, for the mimosa of extending slavery, is yet cherished in tho South, and will be urped whenever circuniMances may seam auspicious. Who doubis that in General Pierce the advo cates of this policy will find their most efficient instru ment? We wish our renders to bear this prophecy iu mind. If, by any possibility, this ticket should be elected, we shall see more Texas annexation games for the benefit of slavery played aver again. Tho following appeal to the third party men of 1818 has some point ami force. But it is too true that the leaden of that movement were dishonest politicians, and went into the Buffalo movement, aotno to be re venged on their personal enemies, but political friends, and more to mount a tolerably inviting, looking hobby on whini they hoped to ride Into power nnd place. Some of theso succeeded. But when a chance for this kind of promotion ceased, Ihey went, almost entirely, over to Locofocoism. Witness tlm Tows-shkkd, Chask & Co. movement in Ohio. They will nit bolt bow, because it will not pay. Mark our pre diction.

Such la tho judgment nf the National Emm tho Lo cofoco platform and nominations. Wo present them ns a phase in the political history of this important year of grace ibx:. We append in this connection a paragraph from the proceedings of a ratification meeting held by the Lo cofoco members of the Virginia Legislature, in Rich mond, on the 7th inst., which will bo read with some interest by those who sympathise with the Fraesoil wing of the Democracy.

The platform which was adopted with so much unanimity by that body, in n sufficient guarantee that no place woj imenaea tobeltjt on it for Amttionuttand FreeioUen; um to snow beyond doubt, that the great Democratic party of iho nation did not design to affiliah mth $uck a nt, nor desire to hold any communion with them, the famous Robert Rantoul was refused a seat in that Con vent ion, and hud to retire from all participation in its deliberatioiiH. Ho will doubtless find more congeniality in the Whig Convention which will assemble on me loin, Ion, the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writes that the portion of tho Democracy who arn inclined to Freesoil ideas, havo agreed to bolt in a body, the nomination of Pierce, and set uo for them selves. Asa movo on Ihe politicnl chess board, the following will be read with interest. Will Townsend, Chase & Co., take this shoot 1 We shall seo. I men tinned yesterday that a portion of the demo- li am, iree-souers nave expressed much dissististnetmn nt the Democratic platform and nominations.

Tho majority of Iho Freesoilers, however, hold the convention responsible for the indorsement of the fugitive slave Inw, and have, therefore, opened the campaign nguinst the ticket of Pierce nnd King.

We regret that we have to correct an error of fin coming from authority so eminent ns Mr. D.dlos, who, in defending the candidate of bis own party from political aspersion if the charge referred tu be such, for we do not know what position Mr. Pierce occupied on lhal question has been creallv misled in caatinu upon the Whig party of New Hampxhire- the responsibility of an odious decision, made by the popular voice of that State, in which it is uotorious the Whigs have always been in a minority. i ne tacis in tbe case are very dtllerent from whit is stated by Mr. Dallas. The very day (in Murch, 1851,) when Iho people of New Hampshire rejected the amendment in their constitution, which proposed to abolish the property qualification and tbe religious t-st, an election wns held for Governor, at which the V big candidate received only eighteen thousand votes out of a poll of fifty-seven thousand. Hie Tote was as follows : For Mr. Sawyer, Whig 18 4:t4 For Mr. Dinsmoor. Dem 27,t'J3 For Mr. A I wood, Free-Soil Dem.... ia,()8ti 57,643 Mr. AtwiHid was iho reuulsrlv nominated iWinrrat. ic candidate until within a few days of the elertion, when, owing to his free-soil predilections, ho wns thrust aside, and Mr. Dinsmoor substituted iu bis place. It is noi prooanio, tnureioro, mat Mr. A. rec ived ihe support of many Whigs; indeed, it is rendered certain that he did not receive their support, from the fact that on ibis occasion Mr. Hiwyer's vote was nearly the same in amount as tho Whig candidate for Governor had received at ihe several annual elections immediately preceding that of 18.11. Now, in contrast with the abovo vote, we insert from our own columns of the 31st March, 1851, the returns of the vote on tbe soveral constitutional amend ments submitted to the people.

Let it ba care'ully read and considered : FACTS FOB THE PE0PLE-THE LEGISLATIVE EX-. t PEN8E8. Notwithstanding the loud and lone continued nro. 1 fessions, on the part of our opponents, in favor of retrenchment and reform" under tho "new order of tilings 111 Ohio, no man having regard for his reputation will deny that the jir( part of the Jirtt teuton of i we ueoerm Asseoiuiy neiu under the new constitution proves beyond cavil that all those nromisea were abal low, unfounded, hollow-hearted. Especially ia this uue na regiirus tnose expenses incident to letns ation such as the per diem of members, clerks and sergeants nnd their ansistants, the printing, &c, &c. and, mi the contrary, we believe that fuels and figures, where ney inn oe oao, win iniiy demonstrate- the propositi!!! that the legislation of Ohio, of 1852. will cost the fitnt. in actual expenses. MORE THAN TWICE mid oer. haps THREE TIMES ns much as the exnensea of anv one session during Whig rule since the formation of ino otate oovernment. Much of this enormoua expenditure has beon tbe result of a wBstelul lovishment of the public funds upon political favorites, for which the State never has and never will receive any ademiate return although na an effect, the recipients may bo induced to labor me more zeaousi lor ihe success ol the pHrty now in power.

OU Thursday tbe Commitlne A, inleH l,v thu P... roon Council waited upou Mr. T. F. Meagher, at the Astor House, and presented him with the resolutions ot Ibe Common Council expressing the respect entertained by that body lor Mr. Meagher, and tendering to him a public reception, to which Mr. Meagher thus replied: MR. MKAdHKIt's REPLY. Gentlemen : Had the effort in which I lost my free, dom been successful, the honors now tendered would not surprise me. Hut, it wus otherwise. Farfrora realizing, it obscured the hopes which accompanied and inspired it ending suddenly in discouragement and defeat. This, the wide world knows. This yon, yourselves, must inwardly admit, though the goodness of ynur nature will seal ynnr lips to the admission, be-ing fearh.il of the disparagement it would imply. The gratitude of a people is most bounteous. It is quick to appreciate, to encourage, to reward. Never alow or stinted in the measure it pours out, its fault is to be too precipitate and profuse. Estimating merit, not by the severe standard of success, it takes motives into consideration, regardless of the fortune which attends them, and, for whalever sacrifices tbey have entailed, awards a great equivalent. In this, the gratitude of a people differs from the gratitude of kings. With the Inner, success is an eaaenlinl condition of excellence. Pensions, knightly decorations, orders of nobility, these are given hy kings in exchange only for Ihe trophies which decorate their halls, or the acquisitions w hich widen the surface of their domination. Not so with a people, as I have said. They do not barter and economise their gilts. Whatever tbe result, ho tbe motive upright, be the deed honorable, and Iheir favors are forthcoming. Moreover, it sometimes hap-pena that where disaster has most grievously befsllen, thero their sympathies are niost evoked, and theit ti ensures most plenteonsly bostowed. This it is which explains tho proceedings, in my regard, of the noble city you represent. I have sought to serve my country, and been anxious to contribute to her freedom. This I shall not assume the modesty lo deny. Long before I mingled in tho atril'e nf politics, it wns my ambition to be identified with Iho destiny of my country to share her glory, if glory wero decreed her to share her Buffering aud humiliation, if such should he her portion. For ibe litlle I have done and suffered, I have bad my reward in the penalty assigned me. To be ihe last and humblest name in Ihe history which contains the namea nf Emmet and Fitzgerald names which waken notes of heroism to iho coldest heart, and alir to lofty purposes 1110 most sluggish mind ia an honor which compensates me fully for the privations I havo endured. Any recompense, of a more joyius nature, it would ill become me to receive. Whilst my counlry remains in sorrow and subjection, it would be indelicate in me to parlicipnle in the fea-tiviliuB you propose. When she lifls up her bend, and nerves her arm for a bolder struggle when she goea forlh, like Miriam, wilh song and timbrel to celebiate her victory I, too, shall lift up my head, and join in iho hymn of freedom. Till theu, the retirement I seek will best accord wilh the love I bear her, and Ihe sadness which her present fale inspires. Nor do I forget the companions of my exile. My benrl ia wilh them at this hour, and shares Ihe solilude in which Ihey dwell. The freedom which has been restored to mo is embittered by tbe recollection of their captivity. While Ihey are in prison, a shadow rests upon my spirit, and tbe thoughts, that might otherwise be free, throb heavily within me. It ia painful for me lo speak. 1 should feel happy iu being permit ted to be silent. For these reasons, you will not feel displeased with me tor ae.iw... .k. t, y.. .i;.., J.. ..,tl, Did I esteem them less, I should not consider myself so unworthy, nor decline so conclusively to enjoy them. The privileges of so eminent a city should bo sacred to those who personify a great and living cause a past full of fame and a future full of hope ai.d whose unmrs are prominent and imperishable. it pains modeeply lomuke Ibis reply, being sensible of the emhtisiasm which glows around me, and tho eagerness with which a public opportunity of meeting " oeeu awaueo. 1 Know 11 will disappoint a generooa anxiety, hut the oronrietv of the ,1,-1..;,,.. tion 1 have come to is proved by the inefficiency even of Ibis consideration to overcome me. 1 know, too, thnt as it grit ves me, it will grieve others, and that! pernnps, the motives that have led to it may be miaon-derstooi, miiicoustrtied aiid cemured. But I am con ', fident that, after a little white, the public ntlgment will sanction theaot which a due re card towW I nwa my country, my companions, ai.d myself, icriously dictates.Yet, so far aa vour Invitation rtcoi7nize th fi.liiw with which I adhered, and still adhere, to a pood and glorious cause, be assured that it has not been exag Berated (r misplaced. The feelings and convictions which influenced my career in Irelund have undertone no chanpe. Still, as ever, I perceive within my coon-try the hiculiies that fit hsr lor a useful and honorable position, anu believing Ihat they require only to be set io motion to prove successful, I still would prompt her lo put them forth. Besides, there it within mo a pride that cannot be subdued there is within me an ambition that cannot be appeased. I desire to have a country which shall work out a fort oh of her own, and depend no longer for subsistence on the charity of other nations. I desire to baveacountry to which I can point with exultation whose prosperity shall be my life whose glory shall be my guerdon. 1 desire to have a country which -hall occupy a heiieHraut position in the world, and by her industry, intellect, integrity and courage, shall contribute, in community with all free nations, to the common happiness and grasdeurof humanity. Hopoa may have darkened, hut the destiny to which I would see my country lifted, is benro me still a height, like that of Tabor, crowned wuh an eternal son. It Is a bold ambilion, but in lb fine country I could have no other. The moment we set our foot upt her shore we behold the offspring of freedom the anergy, the thrift the opulence to which she has given kirth and at a glarce, we comprehend her fruitlulnna, utility,' and splendor. We behold the wonders she has wrought tbe deiormed transformed the crippled eel on y springing into ihe robust proportions ol an Empire which Alexander might well have sighed to couqtr the adventurous spirit of her sons compensating by its rapidity, in little more than a half a century, fur the thou, sands of years in which the land lay stilt in the shadows of tbe ancient forests we behold all this, and the worship of our youth becomes more impassioned an& profound. To this laud I came, as an outcast, to seek an honor-, v. able home as an outlaw, to claim the protection of a Hag that ia inviolable. By one oi the wisest and mildest ol the ancient lepislators, it was decreed that all those who were driven forever from their own conntry should be admitted into the citizenship of Athena. On the same ground, iu virtue of the sentenco of perpetual banishment which excludes tne from my na'ive land, 1 sought a quiet sanctuarr in he home of Washington. To no other land could the hearl which baa felt the rude baud of tyranny so confidently turu for a serene repose. Long may she prosper continuing faithful tn the inheritance lelt Iter by the lathers ut the republic. Long may she prosper gaihering into the bosom of her great family Iho children of all t) a thins adding tu her territory, not by tlm tWord of die soldier or by the subtlety of her statesmen, but by ihe diffusion of her principles and tho consonance of Jier simple laws and institutions with the good sense and pure aspirations of mankind. Long may she prosper each year adding to her stork of strength, and dignity, and wisdom and high ahnva her countless fleets aud cities, even to the last generation, may the monument of her Hbertr bn descried!

Mr. John Oosligan is one of the moit prominent and influential Democratic Irishmen in Albany. At the recent celebration of the feslivnl of Si. Patrick, ill that cny, uo expressed nimsen as lollowa: John Cosliean. Esq.. beina CHlleil on for sentlm.,,, stated ihnt he had quite recently read in lb Tory London Tima, the leading government organ of Eng land, an editorial article on the consequence and uf- lecia oi emigration Irom Ireland to America, from which he (Mr. 0 ) bad transcribed tho following paragraph, viz ! "When the Celt hat crossed the Athmtm. ha Loin. for the first time in hi lite, to conmme ibe mmiuluc cures 01 mis country, and indirectly to contribute to us customs, no may pnssioiy nvo to see Hie dny when tho chief produce of Ireland will be caltlt, and English and Scotch the minority of her population. iho nine or ten millions of Irish, who by that lime will have settled in the United States, cannot lie less friendly to England, and will certainly be much bul- wr uu.iuuier. 10 ner man tney now are. ' Here, said Mr. O., is prool positive and undeniable, If any were needed, of the kind of lovo and affection which the British government bears 10 Ireland and Irishmen, and the confidence Ihey entertain of holding the United States as the beet market in the mrld fr their mauulactured goods. Although he (Mr. 0.) hod always favored and supported the doctrine of "Free Trade," and low duties on foreign importation, avow. Is like the foregoing, mndo fiom various Hritiih sources, he frankly confessed, bad worked a change in his opinion on the "Kree-Trade" policy, advocated mi strongly in influential quarters. As an indication of his present views on that subject, he would ask leave to preseut the following soutlinent: 'Protection to American Itiduatiy: The most lepili-mate and effectual punishment we can inflict on John Bull lor bis tvranny and oppression to Ireland. Let us have a tariff high enough to eiclude the impurtaiion of all British manufactures." This sentiment was received by Ihe company with most rapturous applause. Albany Argue. Mr. Costigau hit tho nnil on tho head. Tho Union deprived Ireland of the power to protect her own manufactures, and made her tho helpless victim of the system which England and Lncofocoism calls free trade. Befuro the Union, under lrih proteclivo laws, there were Irish woolen manufactures, Irish carpet manufactures, Irish blanket manufactures, Irish silk manufactures, Irish calico ninnulac:ures, Irish llannel manufactures and Irish stocking manufactures. The British Pa.liamcnt decreed their ruin and they are ex-Unci, It decreed that Irishmen should buy their man-ulacturea "in the cheapest market," meaning thereby, where they could, fur the lime being, bo bought l,.r least money, (that is, in England,) and. that Ireland r should raise bread-stulTs and other agricultural pro-ducla with which to pay for Ihem. England was to bo the great work shop, and the Irishman wus compelled to be its customer. In short, it fastened upon Ireland, by coercion, the aame system which it seeks to fasten upon us by coaxing. The Locolbco party, whenever it has the power, and to the extent it has the power, adopts and promotes the British ajstem. It insists that this country ought to look to England as its win It shop, and in this way oblain the privilege uf smiling itl (train across ihe ucean In be eaten, instead of hay ing it eaten at homo. The Whig party maintains the American protective policy, Ihe same policy precisely aa Ireland maintained so long as it had Ihe power. Before Ihe Union, the Irish Parliament impnsed protec-tective duties on many English manulactures: among others, a duty on English woolen ; a duly on English calicoes and muslins, so high as to be nearly prohibitory ; a duly on English silk ; duties on English cotton yarn, cotton twist and cotton manufactured goods. Even in the Act of Union it stipulated for the contin uance of the duties on woolens, and several other articles, for twenty years ; fur Ihe high duties on ealieoea and muslins till 18119, wilh a gruiiinl reduction afterwards, till they should fall to nolhing in 1831. The duties on cotton yarn and twist were in like manner continued till 18118, wilh a provision for their gradual reduction after thai lime, till they fell to nothing in 1816. B But when Ireland was deprived by British misrule of a home market fur lis farm products, snd wns forced to send them across the Channel to lie eaten in Eng. land, the Irish growers became so poor that ihey were no longer able to be customers to ilia English work shop. Tho Times states Ibis fnot in the passaie quoted by Mr. Oosligant "When the Cell hs crossed Ihe Atlantic, ke otfim. for lit jirtt Hmt in kit life, to coniume tkt manufactures of rAit couarry " (England.) They are so plundered and impoverished under this r system, thai existence in Ireland is no longer possible. A depopulation of the island begins, which hns taken ofT not onlv the natural increase of a prolific people, but left 1,659.330 souls less iu 1861 than in 1841. They are flying from British froe trade at the rale of a thousand a day s but the system pursues them over the waves. Free trade, by ila organ, the rimes, emits in the prospect of the day "when the chief produre of Ireland will be ; " and "the nine or ten millions of Irish, who by that time will he settled in the United States, will be much better customers to England than Ihey now are." The eiile can no Inngcr be made to wear oollar, visibly branded with the words, " I'al-riok, Ihe Cell, born thrall ol Oedric, ihe Samni" but Free Trade cries after himt "Patrick, the Celt, bom ntlomtr of John Dull Patrick, the strong worker, who ean no longer extract food enough from his native fields to make him a desirable customer, but issnltered to cross that Atlantic to raise crops in the fresh fields of Amerioa, which he must exchange fur manufactures t the English work shop, and not at the work shop of his neighlwr, any more than he did at home." la it not the strangest thing in the world that Irishmen should be satisfied with this ; that they should be content to be more effectual tributaries In the wealth and power of their hereditary tyrants, after escaping from the necessity of it, than before; that they should enroll themselves in such large prnpnrtiun among the aupportera ot Ihe British system, antl give their strength tu oppose the same national protective policy in America, which Irish pilrintiam maintained while Ireland bad parliament of her own T John Ooatigan at last sees the absurdity. His eyes are opened. The eyes of Irishmen in the old country are opened too. An association in Dublin, " The Pa-real Soars) of Iritk Mannfaetnn emd aoWry." is en deavoring io aueumpiisii, oy opinion and vnluntnry compact, what there is no longer the power to ncconv ilish there by law, to diminish the sale of English abrica, aud to give the preference to their own. Irishmen in Ihe United States can act much more effectively. They have) only to cooperate with the Inrgn mnjority of native citizens, and establish the Whig protective system, to poll down the manufacturing and enmmer del aopremaoy of England in ten years and fur ever. It is lor them to decide whether Ihey will follow John Ooatigan Id the cause of their native and adept, d countries or will continue Ihe policy which makes them and their brethren at home the forced customers of England.

Cnli. fornia, on the 23d ult., from liobart Town, bringing us much later news than what we were previously in possession of. From all that we can gather from our xenanges irom tuaiparint tne world, there is no question that Ihe auriferous wealth of Australia is second only lo uamuruia. waniomia, however, has nothing to fear t we oan yet hold our own and more too t fur we have t much nealthier climate in our mineral re. f ions than Auslralia can boast of in hers. We hear of sictness prevailing to a very great extent in portions ol the Australian mines, especially in Victoria. Hut even in regard to Ihe quantity or gold aa yel discovered it Australia, it bears no comparison to that of California. Although additional discuveriea have bnsn ma,U v. cently, the quantity of the precioua melal excavated or gatnerca is not so great as wee to be expected. The Australian mines will of course add to the effect which Iboae of California are producing on Ihe value of gold throughout the world. Our columns are so much crowded to day that we cannot find room fur all the newa we have received from Australia by this arrival, and we are therefore obliged lo condense as much as possible. The Sydney Herald of January SDih, aavs : Tbe newa from our mines la of a more cheering character than it has been for several weeks. The Or luron is becoming populated again, and a few pariiea with treat exertions have been able lo wnrk tl,uiP k-J claims with much suooesa.

Iu many inatauces these are turning out very profitable, audi as two mn clearing $20 per day, and watcr-holeg yielding 130 ounces or more. At the Brnidwond mines it is difficult to en gage labor, inasmuch as success is so general ihat fu w need work fur others. We know of cases in which the day's yield of small parties lias been ten, fifteen aud twenty ounces. It is, however, atoutahinc what mierntory beings miners iiiiuuina. una wouia suppose timt success would prevent them from traveling farther. But no! it is onlv necessary to intimate that a field exiatx whern tiv could get forty ounces per day, and they will leave uriaimy i t uncenumiy. Home 40(1 have tints lelt lor now uiggitigs, wtncii nobody appears to know but ill em sokes; but it is sonerallv sunnosed that " Wenn. rno " is the spnt.

Wo came " on board " this " cloriousciiv in tlm Ha " (ns lingers calls it) iu n pondulu by moonlight.

We stepped from the railroad station into a gondola, which took us some two miles through winding canals, some brond and some narrow. mn.n step of our " Hotel Royal, San Marco." The gondola of Venice is long and narrow and sharp at riiher end. It sits lightly on the water ovor which u glides iioiS"iesiy. It is propelloi by one or twu nan, tii you cliome, by watermen who stand up behind the oar. If you tuke a gondola fur the day, with two oars, it costs twelve shillings in our money. If you hne hut a single waterman, though bis oar is on the side of iho bout, he s eers her by a reversed motion uf ihe osr as easily as if another mmi hM a rA. der. The gondolas aronll painted black, and though graceful in lorui, am not so guy as the pictures we e. The Grand Caiml is the Broadway of Venire. It is lined wilh palaces. In bong rowed ihroigh it, our gondolier pointed nut those belonging to Ihe Duke of Bordeaux, the legitimate heir to the ihrone of France: to iIib UoutitessGuicciuta, adjoining ihat once occupied by Lord Byron; two lielougitig lo Toglioni; the Ducal Palaco, ami several occupied by Doges in the dun uf ihe Uepublio. Gondolas are a luxury compared with hacks nnd cabs. Indeed, thero is no other mude of conveyance so luxurious.

Hundred.) ol people bud collected wilh the same object. The " pigeons," or doves, were coming in from ditlerent directions nnd lighting about I lie windows and cornices of a nmrlde palace, where they sat quite gravely until the lirst sound of the clock of San . Marco striking ibe hour of two was beard, wheu the whole (lock simultaneously settled down upon the pavement under tho window from which the sued was thrown nnd from which Ihey have been ltd, nt the same moment every day, fn ni a period so remote that "the memory of mim runneth uot to the contrary." To-day we went nguiu to the samo placo. Tho pigeons beenn lo collect a quarter before two, evidently ns intent upon their dinners as the same number of childrrn, or "children of a larger growth," would have been. Other bells sounded ti lew minutes before, but not a dove moved until tho hammer was heard ou the chick of Sau Marco, and instantly every wing spread ami the tloek again settled to tho pavement While busily picking up their fond, a dog gamboled around among them, and children walked into the ling without disturbing them at all. Some suy that the government provides the fond for lh doves. Olhers my that a lady, centuries ago, provided in her will for the feeding of iho pigeons t but none know why or when tlu practico originated. Venice was built ou a cluster of small islimds, Lut by far the larger portion of the city is founded upon piles and mason woik iu the sea. It has HO canals, one or which, the Grand Canal, is navigable for vessels. Over this there is but one bridge, the RisJio. Ovor the smaller canals there are nearly 400 bridges, which vary in depth from lour to lhirty feet. Through what weie originally islands, there are narrow si rue is, and mauy buildings have both a water and a land front. Much of the interest of Venice is concentrate.! n limit the 1'iazza of St. M.irk. Here is a Otical I'alace, in front of which is the " Slime of Shame," by standing on which bankrupts formerly obtained exemption from their debts. Near the palace is tbe Cathedral of St. Mirk, to construct and ad.nn which tho Venetians plundered many Oriental chits. Among these, spoils are no less tbnn fiOO marble pillars. Over the entrance stand ihe four bronze horses brought from the Hippodrome at Constantinople, in time ol the Cruindes. Bonnparte plundered Venice of these, when he conquered Italy, hut they were resinnd in 181ft. Their oiipin is unknown, hut they were at Alexandria ami Rome before Constantine removed them to tho Turkish Capitol. Around the square or piazza of St. Mark.ou three sides, are continuous marble palaces in tlx basement stories ol which are jewelers and fancy simps similar to thoxe iu inn ihiiii noyai, in nut. As many of the old and disiinguilicd families of Vo-nice are extinct, so many of iis palaces are deserted. These, with their closed windows and barricaded doors, cast saddening shadows over waters by whiih they are situated. Though Venice still has a large, busy aud moderately prosperous population, yel every thing you see speaks of the past rmher thau the present, lis si- ry departed with its commerce. It is curious to seo a largo city like ibis, from which the whoh or ncaily Urn wholo. animal creation is e. eluded. Not a Imrse, or mule, or donkey, or cow, or goni, or swine, and scarcely a dog or cat, are seeu in all Venice. Water, for the supply of the city, is brought in large boats from riven minima into the sen. It tonus m bulk to dill ere nt points, and is then dipped out Into largo casks and distributed by gondolas through the eanals. Women, wilh a peculiar costume, supply dwellings wilh water, whiih they carry in brass buckets by a yoke across thuir shoulders. In tho streets it is sold by the glass. I am iltsapiMiinvud here, as I was at manv nlscos on the Mediterranean, in the scarcity of fish. Instead of Hung mem m anumiance, as along our sea-lmartl, there are but lew varieties, Bud those of at) iufcrioi quality. tiere, as in ait oin-T itnlmn cities, nro numerous works of art. Several gnllerius nceessible to strangers contain rare pictures. Here Titian, having nearly completrd his hundredth year, died. Some of his best pictures were executed after he had numbered ninety years, his celebrated portrait of Aristo, w hich we saw yesterday in the Mnidrini talae. beinc one of them. Among his noblest efforts is the Presentation of our saviour, a large painting which adorns the Acndnmia. The merchants of Venice do not, as iu former times, congregate- ammi me ttiaiio, though ibis is still t busy place. The "Bridge of Richs" is not, as I bnd sunnosed one over which cititeus pass, but is raised thirty feet over a narrow canal, and connects a prison with the Ducal Palace. It is, aa you know, the " Bridge of Sighs" because persona after receiving sentence passed over it lo their prison, at whose mnisive iron bars and frowning aspect one cannot now look without sighing. This prison is now a hospital. We reached here a day ton late to welcome our friend Dr. Howard Townsend back from Egypt. Mr. W. H. De Witt came from Milan aa wo ate preparing iu leave tor inesie.

The following remarks from the Ban Franeitco Her- mid, in relation to the character of the Chinese emigra tion and the feeling of tho American citizens toward thein, will be read with interest. We do not know how, or where this matter is to end : The fuel cannot be concealed that we are in a very embarrassing position in regard to tbe Chinese immigration. The crisis has been deemed so imminent as to elicit a long and special message Irom the Exec u- live to ine Legislature a message containing various suggestions and recommendations, which, we must confess, the letter of the Chinese, published in the Herald, a few days since, proved to he somewhat injudicious. The spirit of our relations with foreign pow-ers is antagonistic to the exclusion of foreigners, whether there be treaty rtioulationi or not. It is the in tention of the laws of the United States, that foreign ers, if they desire citizenship, shall obtain it, and if iney desire to live unnaturalized that they shall be protected in what rights they can acquire. There is no special or valid reason whv this intendment should not apply to the Chinese in theory, nt the same time niai h is onvioustnere are many dithcumes in the way of its practical annlication in thir case in California. Tlioy are swarming into the country in such numbers that before a year they threaten to outnumber any one nation in our mnist. i bey precipitate themselves upon tho placers, and are so expert in mining as almost to excel Americans in that branch of industry. They do not assimilate to our neonle in anv narticular can hold no intercourse wilh them have not their svmna- thy, and if they happen lo interfere with them nt all in their mining labors, are apt to be objects of dislike. Their merchants, some of whom are men uf great intelligence, trade in San Francisco, but that trade islim-itrd. In fact, between the Chinese and Americans. there are few if any of those lies w hich make Euro ponns acceptable to our citizens- J hore is another cause which is calculated to pro-luce collision in the mines between Clnneseaud Amer icans. It is understood that many are sent out hero lo work for a certain period, at a stipulated sum. So long ai this contract system is confined to American citizens, it would not create any extraordinary annoyance; hut that Europeans, resident iu China, and Chinese themselves, should employ this contract labor iu competition with tho labor of our own citizens, in working the plarers, will not he tamely submitted to. Accordingly, wo see already danger of a very serious collision between American miners and the Chinese, who have settled iu the placois, aud the feeling now existing will be much ngyravated when tho thousands already on their way from China shall have reached our shores. All this proves the impolicy of defeating the law framed by Mr. Peachy, to provido a means in California for rendering valid nnd binding, contracts made by American citizens for the nninlovm.tit nf Coolies in agricultural nnd quartz mining. This would novo excluded the Uhmese altogether (mm surlace mining and confined their operations lo the reclamation of tide nnd swamD lands. th tiliinir nf the soil. the cultivation of rice, and the delving in quartz mines. In nouH of these occupalinns would they Imvo interfered wilh the legitimate occupations of American citizens, nnd the laud would in a few years be enriched by the result of ll icir labors. We say again, therefore, this Chinese question, as it sinnds now, is one of great delicucy. There is a law of tbe Empire prohibiting emigration, and it may bo therefore urged that our trade with the Chinese could not he spoiled by preventing their emigration ; at the samo time it cannot be doubted that an emhnrgo on their importation would give rise to feelings of great bitterness and animosity between the two nations. Although it is hoping against hope, we yut trust the Legislature will give this subject their serious consideration, and provide a law to make contracts binding between Chinese and Americans. i) a r i c t j) . tiT There has been quite an excitement at Cincin nati in consequence of the discovery, near Walnut Hills, of the remains of several human bodies, in differ-ont stages of decomposition.

The National Era is the admitted orgnn of the Free Soil organization, so far as it has any vitality, in the United States. Edited with decided ability, and with a general fairness, it has a large circulation and much nuence with tho third party men of the nation. In common with others, we have been curious to see what it would say of the sayings aud doings of the late Locofoco National Convention. Since the epos- tacy of Chask, Townbhsnd & Co., iu Ohio, and ihe transfer of themsolven and their Influence to Locoloco- ism, it has been a matter of curiosity to watch and see how general waa the alliance between that party aud the old Hunker Locofoco party. The Era has spoken, and that in uo doubtful terms. We give a few extracts from its leading article, and commend them lo that class of persons iu Ohio. The editor siarts off as follows: The Banker Democracy Its Convention and Candidate!.We present in auother place a condensed report of tne proceedings ut the national Democratic Uouven-tton, which aftsemhled at Baltimore on the first and adjourned on the fifth of June. It was thoroughly nunxer iu spirit, principles and organization. 1 tie Slave Power reigned supreme over its deliberations. and of the few liberal Democrats present, who in 1848 nuD-JiHineu ilia jriiici'i'B or supported uio eandKiaies oi ino iiuttaio u on ven i imi, not oiib by word orvti evinced the slightest np- shinn to reniit the overpow ering influence of Slavery. The radical Democrats of new lorh rallied uuiler the lend ol Marcy, an inveterate Hunker, the enemy of Hihia Wright, one of the pledged eleven, and ihe radical Democrats of Ohio upon Cass or Douglas, both pledged by deed and word to tho demands of Slavery. The Era gives the history of the summary way the clriimsofMr. RitNTour, one of the loading Loco Tocos uf Massachusetts, and member of Ctiugress, to a seat in the Convention, wero disposed of: Some weeks ago, Mr. Polk, of Teiin., Iu the llnuo, announced to Mr. Rantuul, of Muss., that bo would be thrust out ol tho parly, Iho Convention mmlo good the prediction. Mr. Rontoul, in portion, talents, nnd labors, has been at tbe head of the New England Democracy. Bya Democratic Convention regularly called in his district, ho wus nominated a delegutn to the National Convention ut Baltimore, by an overwhelming majority. A few dinsatified Hunkers bolted, held a kind of conventicle of some thirty persons, opposed to his nomination, and nominated Mr. Lord. Mr. Ran-toul was also nominated for Congreta, by a regularly authorized Convention ot the Democracy, the Old Line Democracy uf the district. Mr. Lord was nominated by a few Hunker bolters. On tho7ili of April, 1851, the people decided the contest, by giving Runtoul 3,l,rl votes, and Lord 48 ! At Ibe Convention, Mr. Rantoul, of course, cluimed his seat: Mr, Lord, on the strength of his party of 48. contented it. A committee of the MassHcbusutts delegation, reported tb.it iu their opinion, Robert RinloiiL was emitted to tho eat. Tho ease was referred to the committee on Credentials, (Hunker) appointed by the President of the Convention, (a Hunker.) The committee (excepting Mr. Nye)eoolly reported iu favor ol Mr. Lord; Romutoits M. Saunders, ul North Carolina, demanded the previous question on tho adoption of the report, so as to prevent the facts of tlm cane from Coining to the knowltde of ihe members; and the Convention, voting by Stales, adopted it yeas 19ti, nays Si. After giving a sketch of tho long and angry proceedings of ihe five du)V labor, tho final result is announced ns follows : At lust, wearied by unsuccessful efforts to choose from this consecrated baud, it pasted ihem all by, and settled almost unauimoudy upon Franklin fierce, of New Hampshire, a Hunker of Hunkers, profoundly loyal to slavery, from whom no word or vote in behalf of HuniHn Bights bus ever been recorded, who has avowed his entire devotion to the Compromise, but who, in the absence of any avowal. " bo linnei trusted by tho slavchtiUUi, .ntm-nt than a majority of the candidates for whom it bad voted. Then followed ihe almost unanimous nomination for the Vice Presidency, of William R King, of Alabama, a thorough-going duvotee of slavery of ihe Calhoun school, and who, in his letter to Scott, invested tho fugitive law with the sacredness of tbe Constitution. Finally, leaving noilinifj to uncertainly, it plnces the candidates under bonds, by the adoption of the old : resolution on slavery, by faUely nserliiig that that covers tbe adjustment measures of Ihe lai Congress, by edoptmg the finality and totality test, and by pas-ing a special resolution pledging the Democratic party "tu resist all attemps at renewing in Congress and out of it the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt miuht he made " a hihhamled, atrocious effort on tlm part of a popular Convention to put down all freedom of debate in Congress tu thruwt a guy its the throats ol the People's Representatives. The palpable effect of the election of this ticket up on the cause of freedom, is portrayed ns follows. It in proper to remind our readers that the Cincinnati En-qvirer, one ol the leading Locofoco papers in the West, proclaimed, even before tho nomination, that the divi sion of California, and the introduction of slavery there in, wojid be no violation of the letter or spirit of the compromise measures. Of course, finality is not in tended by these men to be final upon anything that may be needed to extend slavery under the Baltimore Locofoco platform. The Era says : If this nomination prove successful, wo shall eipect to see Culiforiiiadivided, and its southern portionerect ed into a slave State a favorite scheme of th i slave power, and lor the consummation of which it is necessary to secure a favorable administration. Every barrier to tbe introduction of slavery into the Territories would be thrown down: Freedom there is in jeopardy, with an administration in Washington that repaid the constitution of tho United States as carrying with it the right to hold slavea iu whatever teiritory may be acquired by the United Stales. This is the doctrine insisted upon by that great interest which dictated the nomination, and by the school of politicians to which Mr. Pierce belongs. Nor must we forgot that the policy of tho annexation of Cuba, and of liirther acquisitions of territory on our southwest, for the mimosa of extending slavery, is yet cherished in tho South, and will be urped whenever circuniMances may seam auspicious. Who doubis that in General Pierce the advo cates of this policy will find their most efficient instru ment? We wish our renders to bear this prophecy iu mind. If, by any possibility, this ticket should be elected, we shall see more Texas annexation games for the benefit of slavery played aver again. Tho following appeal to the third party men of 1818 has some point ami force. But it is too true that the leaden of that movement were dishonest politicians, and went into the Buffalo movement, aotno to be re venged on their personal enemies, but political friends, and more to mount a tolerably inviting, looking hobby on whini they hoped to ride Into power nnd place. Some of theso succeeded. But when a chance for this kind of promotion ceased, Ihey went, almost entirely, over to Locofocoism. Witness tlm Tows-shkkd, Chask & Co. movement in Ohio.

We append in this connection a paragraph from the proceedings of a ratification meeting held by the Lo cofoco members of the Virginia Legislature, in Rich mond, on the 7th inst., which will bo read with some interest by those who sympathise with the Fraesoil wing of the Democracy.

I men tinned yesterday that a portion of the demo- li am, iree-souers nave expressed much dissististnetmn nt the Democratic platform and nominations.

The very day (in Murch, 1851,) when Iho people of New Hampshire rejected the amendment in their constitution, which proposed to abolish the property qualification and tbe religious t-st, an election wns held for Governor, at which the V big candidate received only eighteen thousand votes out of a poll of fifty-seven thousand.

It is noi prooanio, tnureioro, mat Mr. A. rec ived ihe support of many Whigs; indeed, it is rendered certain that he did not receive their support, from the fact that on ibis occasion Mr. Hiwyer's vote was nearly the same in amount as tho Whig candidate for Governor had received at ihe several annual elections immediately preceding that of 18.11.

Notwithstanding the loud and lone continued nro. 1 fessions, on the part of our opponents, in favor of retrenchment and reform" under tho "new order of tilings 111 Ohio, no man having regard for his reputation will deny that the jir( part of the Jirtt teuton of i we ueoerm Asseoiuiy neiu under the new constitution proves beyond cavil that all those nromisea were abal low, unfounded, hollow-hearted. Especially ia this uue na regiirus tnose expenses incident to letns ation such as the per diem of members, clerks and sergeants nnd their ansistants, the printing, &c, &c. and, mi the contrary, we believe that fuels and figures, where ney inn oe oao, win iniiy demonstrate- the propositi!!! that the legislation of Ohio, of 1852. will cost the fitnt. in actual expenses.

OU Thursday tbe Commitlne A, inleH l,v thu P... roon Council waited upou Mr. T. F. Meagher, at the Astor House, and presented him with the resolutions ot Ibe Common Council expressing the respect entertained by that body lor Mr. Meagher, and tendering to him a public reception, to which Mr. Meagher thus replied: MR. MKAdHKIt's REPLY. Gentlemen : Had the effort in which I lost my free, dom been successful, the honors now tendered would not surprise me. Hut, it wus otherwise. Farfrora realizing, it obscured the hopes which accompanied and inspired it ending suddenly in discouragement and defeat. This, the wide world knows. This yon, yourselves, must inwardly admit, though the goodness of ynur nature will seal ynnr lips to the admission, be-ing fearh.il of the disparagement it would imply. The gratitude of a people is most bounteous. It is quick to appreciate, to encourage, to reward. Never alow or stinted in the measure it pours out, its fault is to be too precipitate and profuse. Estimating merit, not by the severe standard of success, it takes motives into consideration, regardless of the fortune which attends them, and, for whalever sacrifices tbey have entailed, awards a great equivalent. In this, the gratitude of a people differs from the gratitude of kings. With the Inner, success is an eaaenlinl condition of excellence. Pensions, knightly decorations, orders of nobility, these are given hy kings in exchange only for Ihe trophies which decorate their halls, or the acquisitions w hich widen the surface of their domination. Not so with a people, as I have said. They do not barter and economise their gilts. Whatever tbe result, ho tbe motive upright, be the deed honorable, and Iheir favors are forthcoming. Moreover, it sometimes hap-pena that where disaster has most grievously befsllen, thero their sympathies are niost evoked, and theit ti ensures most plenteonsly bostowed. This it is which explains tho proceedings, in my regard, of the noble city you represent. I have sought to serve my country, and been anxious to contribute to her freedom. This I shall not assume the modesty lo deny. Long before I mingled in tho atril'e nf politics, it wns my ambition to be identified with Iho destiny of my country to share her glory, if glory wero decreed her to share her Buffering aud humiliation, if such should he her portion. For ibe litlle I have done and suffered, I have bad my reward in the penalty assigned me. To be ihe last and humblest name in Ihe history which contains the namea nf Emmet and Fitzgerald names which waken notes of heroism to iho coldest heart, and alir to lofty purposes 1110 most sluggish mind ia an honor which compensates me fully for the privations I havo endured. Any recompense, of a more joyius nature, it would ill become me to receive. Whilst my counlry remains in sorrow and subjection, it would be indelicate in me to parlicipnle in the fea-tiviliuB you propose. When she lifls up her bend, and nerves her arm for a bolder struggle when she goea forlh, like Miriam, wilh song and timbrel to celebiate her victory I, too, shall lift up my head, and join in iho hymn of freedom. Till theu, the retirement I seek will best accord wilh the love I bear her, and Ihe sadness which her present fale inspires. Nor do I forget the companions of my exile. My benrl ia wilh them at this hour, and shares Ihe solilude in which Ihey dwell. The freedom which has been restored to mo is embittered by tbe recollection of their captivity. While Ihey are in prison, a shadow rests upon my spirit, and tbe thoughts, that might otherwise be free, throb heavily within me. It ia painful for me lo speak. 1 should feel happy iu being permit ted to be silent. For these reasons, you will not feel displeased with me tor ae.iw... .k. t, y.. .i;.., J.. ..,tl, Did I esteem them less, I should not consider myself so unworthy, nor decline so conclusively to enjoy them. The privileges of so eminent a city should bo sacred to those who personify a great and living cause a past full of fame and a future full of hope ai.d whose unmrs are prominent and imperishable. it pains modeeply lomuke Ibis reply, being sensible of the emhtisiasm which glows around me, and tho eagerness with which a public opportunity of meeting " oeeu awaueo. 1 Know 11 will disappoint a generooa anxiety, hut the oronrietv of the ,1,-1..;,,.. tion 1 have come to is proved by the inefficiency even of Ibis consideration to overcome me. 1 know, too, thnt as it grit ves me, it will grieve others, and that! pernnps, the motives that have led to it may be miaon-derstooi, miiicoustrtied aiid cemured. But I am con ', fident that, after a little white, the public ntlgment will sanction theaot which a due re card towW I nwa my country, my companions, ai.d myself, icriously dictates.Yet, so far aa vour Invitation rtcoi7nize th fi.liiw with which I adhered, and still adhere, to a pood and glorious cause, be assured that it has not been exag Berated (r misplaced. The feelings and convictions which influenced my career in Irelund have undertone no chanpe. Still, as ever, I perceive within my coon-try the hiculiies that fit hsr lor a useful and honorable position, anu believing Ihat they require only to be set io motion to prove successful, I still would prompt her lo put them forth. Besides, there it within mo a pride that cannot be subdued there is within me an ambition that cannot be appeased. I desire to have a country which shall work out a fort oh of her own, and depend no longer for subsistence on the charity of other nations. I desire to baveacountry to which I can point with exultation whose prosperity shall be my life whose glory shall be my guerdon. 1 desire to have a country which -hall occupy a heiieHraut position in the world, and by her industry, intellect, integrity and courage, shall contribute, in community with all free nations, to the common happiness and grasdeurof humanity. Hopoa may have darkened, hut the destiny to which I would see my country lifted, is benro me still a height, like that of Tabor, crowned wuh an eternal son. It Is a bold ambilion, but in lb fine country I could have no other. The moment we set our foot upt her shore we behold the offspring of freedom the anergy, the thrift the opulence to which she has given kirth and at a glarce, we comprehend her fruitlulnna, utility,' and splendor. We behold the wonders she has wrought tbe deiormed transformed the crippled eel on y springing into ihe robust proportions ol an Empire which Alexander might well have sighed to couqtr the adventurous spirit of her sons compensating by its rapidity, in little more than a half a century, fur the thou, sands of years in which the land lay stilt in the shadows of tbe ancient forests we behold all this, and the worship of our youth becomes more impassioned an& profound. To this laud I came, as an outcast, to seek an honor-, v. able home as an outlaw, to claim the protection of a Hag that ia inviolable. By one oi the wisest and mildest ol the ancient lepislators, it was decreed that all those who were driven forever from their own conntry should be admitted into the citizenship of Athena. On the same ground, iu virtue of the sentenco of perpetual banishment which excludes tne from my na'ive land, 1 sought a quiet sanctuarr in he home of Washington. To no other land could the hearl which baa felt the rude baud of tyranny so confidently turu for a serene repose. Long may she prosper continuing faithful tn the inheritance lelt Iter by the lathers ut the republic. Long may she prosper gaihering into the bosom of her great family Iho children of all t) a thins adding tu her territory, not by tlm tWord of die soldier or by the subtlety of her statesmen, but by ihe diffusion of her principles and tho consonance of Jier simple laws and institutions with the good sense and pure aspirations of mankind. Long may she prosper each year adding to her stork of strength, and dignity, and wisdom and high ahnva her countless fleets aud cities, even to the last generation, may the monument of her Hbertr bn descried! In the darkest stnrma which shake the throne and dyuasiiea of the old word, may it stand unscathed ! In the darkest uight which tails upon ihe arms of a struggling people, may it shine lorth like the cross in the wilderness, and bo to them an emblem of hope and a signal of salvation !
